The cost to remove a tree in Minnesota ranges from $300 on the low end, to as much as $2,000. While a range like this may be intimidating to many home and business owners, it’s important to remember that there are many factors which can affect the cost of Minnesota tree removal. Factors include; size of the tree being removed, the amount of trees, and the proximity to physical property (such as buildings, pools, and more).
Determining The True Cost of Tree Removal in Minnesota
There are many factors that go into the actual cost of what it takes to remove a tree from a property here in Minnesota. There are a few of the biggest factors that affect the cost of tree removal in Minnesota.
- Size of the tree being removed
- Tree proximity to buildings and other physical structures
- How dangerous the scope of the project is
- The amount of trees being removed
Size of the Tree being removed
One of the most important factors in determining the cost of the tree you’re trying to remove is the size. For smaller trees that require no climbing, the cost is very affordable. Many tree contractors (ourselves included) will offer a discount if there are multiple trees to be removed.
Whenever a tree service contractor is able to double down on the amount of work they’re doing, it allows them to be more efficient with their time and resources. In the end, this savings is passed on to the home or business owner.
For example, if you’re requesting a small tree to be removed, the cost could be as much as $1,000. Remember, it takes time, fuel, and resources to get the team to your project site for the single tree removal.
On the other hand, if the tree service company is able to remove multiple trees at the same time, instead of a flat rate of $1,000 per tree, it could drop to $600 per tree. So for two trees, your cost may be $1,200, instead of $2,000.
Please note, each project is different. To determine what it will really cost, you must contact a tree service contractor first. No amount of guessing over the internet will help determine the true cost to remove a tree, especially in Minnesota.
Tree proximity to buildings and other physical structures
Aside from the size of the tree being removed, the proximity to buildings and other valuable structures will affect the cost of your tree removal. If the tree is in a wide open space where it can simply be dropped straight to the ground, with no climbing or special equipment required, the cost will be significantly cheaper than something right next to your home.
Each scenario is completely different, so it’s best to talk to a trusted tree removal contractor first. If you’d like a free project estimate, we’re happy to help you out. Or, if you’d rather call our competitor down the street, that’s no problem at all! We’d much prefer that you do not try to remove a tree yourself, without the proper safety equipment and training (even if that means you working with one of our competitors).
How dangerous the scope of the project is
Let’s make no mistake. Each and every tree removal is a dangerous project. That’s why we’d prefer you call us (or our competitor), rather than attempting this yourself. No amount of savings is worth risking injury or possible damage to your physical property.
If proper safety equipment isn’t used, or precautions taken, tree removal can turn dangerous in a quick hurry. We highly recommend working with a professional to safely remove trees from your property.
The amount of trees being removed
A great way to save money and get more bang for your buck is to find other trees that may need removing, or trimming! Contractors will be able to provide a better price, making your budget go further, if they’re able to tackle a few more trees or similar projects while on your property.
